Some world leaders and governments speak about what they call “Islamic terrorism,” portraying Islam as a religion of bloodshed and violence. These individuals have never truly read Islamic religious texts; rather, they judge Islam based on the actions of groups that falsely claim to represent it, such as Wahhabi ISIS and others. They then generalise their accusations to include all Muslims and Islamic teachings.
As a result, many people have developed a strong aversion towards Muslims, treating them with hostility and suspicion. It has become increasingly evident that Muslims and Arabs face excessive scrutiny at airports and ports worldwide under the pretext of security measures to prevent the entry of so-called terrorists and to protect national security.
Muslims, in general, do not deny the existence of individuals who misuse Islam to justify their corrupt actions. However, these individuals—primarily those who follow Wahhabi ideology, the teachings of Ibn Taymiyyah, Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab, and self-proclaimed Salafi scholars—are the ones distorting the image of Islam. They perpetuate the false impression that Islam is a violent religion that lacks mercy and compassion.
Islam commands Muslims to fight those who fight them, expel them from their homes, and aid in their displacement. However, when we look at the Torah, as it exists today in the hands of the Jews, we see a completely different narrative—one that promotes a true ideology of terrorism in the name of God, an ideology that Jews are expected to adhere to.
Media and Hostility Towards Islam
Western media, particularly European and American outlets like Charlie Hebdo, persist in their campaign of insults and dehumanisation against Muslims. These attacks are not accidental; they are deliberate provocations, often backed by Zionists and their allies, who actively encourage and finance such assaults on Islam and Arabs.
A Comparison with Judaism
As mentioned earlier, Islam instructs its followers to fight only those who fight them, expel them from their homes, or conspire against them. However, when we examine the Torah currently in circulation among Jews, we find that it promotes a vastly different approach—one that fosters and legitimises terrorism in the name of God. This is particularly significant because the Torah is also part of the Old Testament, which Christians believe in, making its influence extend beyond Judaism to Christianity as well.
Zionist Jews claim to be the heirs of the prophets of the Israelites, whom they believe received divine revelations, blessings, and wisdom. They assert that they have inherited righteousness, justice, and a mission to spread divine commandments across generations. They also argue that their legacy makes them a beacon of wisdom, a light to humanity, despite facing persecution from tyrants throughout history.
The Torah’s Stance on Non-Hebrews
The Torah, as interpreted by its followers, dictates different levels of interaction between the Israelites and non-Hebrews, categorising them into three main groups: the descendants of Prophet Abraham from his wife Hagar, the indigenous inhabitants of the land (especially the Canaanites), and foreign nations outside the so-called “Holy Land,” such as the Egyptians and Ammonites.
From the very beginning, the Torah paints a supremacist picture, placing Jews at the pinnacle of existence while relegating others to an inferior status. This doctrine is rooted in the concept of divine exclusivity—where God supposedly belongs solely to the Hebrews, excluding all others.
According to this ideology, Jews are the “chosen people” under divine care, whereas other nations are seen as insignificant and devoid of true worth. This belief system divides the world into two groups: those who are blessed with God’s favour (the Israelites) and those who are considered wild, untamed beasts outside divine grace.
Furthermore, the Torah forbids Hebrews from mingling with other nations, considering them impure and unworthy of association. Non-Jews are depicted as lesser beings—mere animals in human form—while the Israelites are portrayed as sacred and superior. The Torah also asserts that non-Jews exist solely to serve the Israelites—either as conquered foes or as divine tools of punishment against disobedient Jews.
How the Torah Promotes Violence
The Torah prescribes three primary ways for Jews to deal with non-Jews:
- Extermination: According to Jewish beliefs, God commands the Israelites to annihilate non-Jewish nations, purging them from existence. Numerous Torah passages describe divine orders for the complete destruction of enemy populations. For instance, when the Israelites, led by Joshua bin Nun, entered Jericho, God allegedly commanded them to slaughter every living soul—men, women, children, and even livestock. The Torah even boasts about the mass killing of 12,000 inhabitants in the city of Ai, located between Jericho and Ramallah. In various instances, the Torah mandates indiscriminate killing as a divine command.
- Expulsion: The second preferred method, according to the Torah, is to expel non-Jews from lands occupied by the Israelites. The presence of these “impure” nations among the “chosen people” is seen as a spiritual and moral contamination. The fear is that foreign nations might corrupt the faith of the Israelites, leading them to commit sins. Consequently, the Torah encourages their forced removal.
Does this not align with the rhetoric of Jewish religious leaders like Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who called for the expulsion of Palestinians, labelling them as “filth” and the “spawn of serpents”? Even today, Israeli policies revolve around the elimination of Palestinians through various means. Orthodox Jews believe that allowing Palestinians to remain in the so-called “Promised Land” is a grave sin that will bring divine punishment upon them.
- Enslavement: When extermination or expulsion is not feasible, the Torah allegedly commands the Israelites to enslave non-Jews, granting them complete control over other nations. The “chosen people” are supposedly entitled to treat others as subservient beings, existing solely for their benefit.
Israel’s Application of Torah-Based Terrorism
Israel and the Zionist movement have consistently implemented these violent principles against Palestinians. Before the establishment of the Israeli state, Zionist militias carried out numerous massacres to terrorise Palestinians into fleeing their homes. They committed atrocities in Deir Yassin, Haifa, Tantura, Lydda, and many other locations, using terror as a strategic weapon to force Palestinians into exile.
Even after the Nakba, Israel continued to exploit those Palestinians who remained, forcing them into servitude within Israeli agricultural and industrial sectors. Today, many Palestinians work under oppressive conditions, serving an economy built on their own dispossession.
The Status of Ishmael in the Corrupted Torah
The altered Torah does not recognise Prophet Ishmael as a legitimate descendant of Abraham. Instead, it falsely claims that Isaac was Abraham’s only son, thereby dismissing Ishmael’s lineage and any of his descendants. Furthermore, it contains numerous derogatory references to Ishmael and his progeny, reinforcing hostility towards Arabs and Muslims.
Land Distribution in the Corrupted Torah
The division of lands in the Torah aligns with the concept of Jewish supremacy. The notion that Jews are divinely entitled to certain territories while others are designated as “unclean” and unworthy is a foundational aspect of their religious doctrine.
Who is the Real Terrorist?
The Torah contains extensive details about such extremist ideologies, but this summary should suffice to convey the message. If we are to examine religions critically, it becomes evident that the prevailing misconceptions about Islam are deeply flawed and require reassessment. It is crucial to challenge the narratives propagated by Islam’s adversaries.
Israel’s military actions, such as the 2014 assault on Gaza that killed around 2,000 Palestinians, involved the destruction of homes, the displacement of families, and the terrorising of children and women. This is not just terrorism—it is a religiously sanctioned act within their doctrine, something they consider a sacred duty.
Moreover, the status of women in the Torah is equally oppressive. Women are degraded, subjected to restrictive laws, and deemed impure under specific circumstances. While Muslims are often accused of mistreating women, critics should first examine their own religious texts before making baseless accusations.
Jewish Voices Against Zionism
It is essential to recognise that not all Jews support Zionism or Israeli policies. Many Jewish individuals and organisations actively oppose the occupation of Palestine and speak out against the injustices committed against Palestinians. Groups such as Neturei Karta, Jewish Voice for Peace, and IfNotNow reject Zionism on both religious and ethical grounds, advocating for Palestinian rights and justice.
